A new lens-free imaging system uses software to see finer details from farther away than optical systems ever could before.

By replacing bulky lenses with software-driven sensor arrays, the researchers unlock a new era of flexible, high-resolution ...

Engineers unlock the power of exceptional points (EPs) for advanced optical sensing. EPs -- specific conditions in systems where extraordinary optical phenomena can occur -- can be deployed on ...

Anatomically, the human eye is like a sophisticated tentacle that reaches out from the brain, with the retina acting as the tentacle’s tip and touching everything the person sees. Evolution worked a ...

Researchers have developed a sensor array design technology inspired by the human auditory system. By mimicking the human ear's ability to distinguish sounds through tonotopy, this innovative sensor ...

Imaging technology has transformed how we observe the universe—from mapping distant galaxies with radio telescope arrays to unlocking microscopic details inside living cells. Yet despite decades of ...
